Coronavirus: Follow government advice and COVID-19 pandemic will be over quicker, Britons told The health secretary has urged Britons to follow the government's coronavirus advice - saying life will return to normal more quickly if everyone does so. Matt Hancock said that embracing social distancing measures will help the UK avoid "difficult situations" like those seen in Italy, where hospitals are overwhelmed with gravely ill patients with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. "The more people follow the public health advice, the quicker we will be through this and the quicker we will be back to normal," he told Sky News. Mr Hancock added: "If people follow the advice, we'll get through this quicker and we won't have to enforce these draconian enforcements that we've seen in other places in Europe."

How the US elections helped bring Lebanon and Iraq to the brink These latest developments raise the specter of disaster in both these countries, according to analysts, and appear linked to the approach of US elections on November 3. The recent round of rocket assaults in Iraq may have triggered the threat to shutter the US embassy, but they are not a new phenomenon. "The timing is definitely something we have to look at," Iraq analyst Sajad Jiyad told CNN. "Why suddenly is the US talking about closing the embassy when these attacks have been going on since last year?" Pompeo's warning blindsided the Iraqi government.

Adonis Hoffman: Chicago needs Obama more than Hollywood Former President Barack Obama has gone Hollywood, trading in Southside Chicago for Sunset Boulevard, Silicon Valley and celebrity soirees on Martha’s Vineyard just when the Windy City needs him most. As Chicago slips into a cycle of shooting and looting, Obama has the unique posture and position to help resolve the deadly spree of crime and violence. America — indeed Chicago — spawned the success that became Obama. Now with ill winds blowing, Chicago needs him more than ever.

Train services across Britain to be stripped back from Monday Train services are to be pared back across Britain from Monday as passengers are urged to stop all non-essential travel to slow the spread of coronavirus. Ministers and rail operators across England, Scotland and Wales have agreed to make progressive cuts to timetables, with the aim of keeping core services running – but reflecting a drop of almost 70% in passenger numbers since the outbreak started. The government and industry decision will also enable rail freight services to run effectively. The speed with which services will be cut will be left to individual train operators, but they have pledged to maintain a sufficient timetable for key workers to travel to work and for the public to access medical appointments, as well as ensuring the flow of goods by rail. In the capital, a reduced London Underground service has already come into effect with the closure of 40 stations, and the axing of the night tube.

Bank transfer fraud victims face total lottery on refunds, warns Which? Victims of bank transfer scams face a "total lottery" over whether they will get their money back under a voluntary industry code, according to a consumer campaign group.

Presidential debate commission adopts rules to mute microphones Donald Trump has complained that a rule change to mute microphones for part of his final televised debate with Joe Biden is “very unfair” and objected to the topics chosen by the moderator. When the two face off on Thursday for a final televised debate, each candidate will have their microphones cut off while the other is delivering responses to questions on American families, race in America, climate change, national security and leadership. The 90-minute debate is divided into 15-minute segments on the six topics, with each candidate granted two minutes to deliver uninterrupted remarks before proceeding to an open debate for nine minutes of each segment. The non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) on Monday announced that “in order to enforce this agreed upon rule, the only candidate whose microphone will be open during these two-minute periods is the candidate who has the floor under the rules”. Both mics will be unmuted for open discussion.

Download the new Independent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines Mr Sunak was locked in talks with businesses and unions until late on Thursday in the hope of producing a package to bail out workers in the same way the government has already offered help to companies, mortgage-holders and rental tenants.

I thought I was career-driven, but I can’t bear to leave my baby The dilemma I have a nine-month-old daughter and have begun to return to work. Before I gave birth I was sure this wouldn’t be a difficult decision; I’ve never been maternal and my career has always been a priority, so a pay decrease and inevitably getting overlooked for projects and progression wasn’t on the cards. However, watching her grow has been the most rewarding and enjoyable period of my life and I feel guilty. She loves nursery, but the thought of her interacting with her care workers more than me makes me very upset. I feel as if I’d be throwing these early years away. My partner would happily drop some of his hours, but his work won’t allow it, whereas I am offered much more flexibility.
